A problem I’m sure is common to most people who live in colder climates in this day and age is that it’s quite frustrating when you’re shovelling snow or waiting for a bus and you can’t use your smartphone without taking your gloves off and risking losing feeling in your hands for the rest of the day. While there are several touch screen glove solutions floating around out there to ensure our hands live for another day, most will either run you between $20-$30 for a single pair or be of such poor quality that they’re essentially useless. This is where Newer Technology comes in with their $9 NuTouch conductive touch screen gloves. Do these gloves keep your hands toasty-warm while letting you use your touch devices, or do they leave you out in the cold? We’ll touch on our time with them after the jump.

Saturday, December 1st, 2012
It seems like every electronic device that you get these days is supposed to be charged via USB. Most of them come with USB/AC adapters, but these can take up a lot of wall outlet and power bar space. This is where NewerTech comes in with their Power2U wall outlet that features 2 USB ports in addition to the usual pair of AC outlets. We were able to put a black unit through its paces recently, so is the Power2U the revolutionary space-saver it sets out to be or should it be charged with inadequacy? Read on to see what kind of electrifying experience we had with the Power2U.
PS3 HDMI Cable
Friday, April 9th, 2010
Cost: $10.99 US
Length: 6 ft.
Manufacturer: ps3hdmicable.com
With the gaming market trending very quickly to HD audio and visuals, we find ourselves in need of a lot more equipment to get the most out of our games. I myself have purchased HD TVs, surround sound systems/headphones, PC gaming rigs, and video game systems all to take advantage of the higher resolution and clarity offered with cutting-edge technology. Well, even if you have all of the fancy gadgets, you’re still going to need a ton of cables to hook everything together. With all of the cables to buy, it’s best if you can get them on the cheap, as long as it doesn’t risk reducing the all-mighty clarity that your system will produce in the end. We recently had a budget-priced HDMI cable (that of course works on all HDMI-compatible devices) sent to us for review, so read on to see how it fared.
Logitech Cordless MediaBoard for PS3
Sunday, June 29th, 2008
Cost: $54 (most places; I found mine for $34)
Interface: Wireless via USB
Platform: Playstation 3 (Works on PC, Mac and Wii (no trackpad on Wii))
The Logitech Cordless MediaBoard for Playstation 3 is an all-in-one Keyboard and Mouse. It says that it is for Playstation 3, but I have tested it on a PC and it worked perfectly without any driver installation. To be more specific, I built a new system and used it to setup my BIOS settings for the first time, then to install the operating system.
